Students will learn a multitude of new vocabulary words and simple research skills as they "travel" through Kenya. Web 2.0 tools such as Blabberize and Mixbook help make this unit an experience your students will never forget.
Observe students as they sort their cards by wants and needs. Assist students who may need help with topics and challenge students further to create their own cards.
